William H. Clearwater

William Henry Clearwater, born on November 14 in either 1868 or 1875 and died on September 24, 1948, was of Ellwood, Pennsylvania, and was the pocket billiards and continuous pool champion of the world. The English Wikipedia article about him is a one sentence entry that gives his dates and his title and nothing more, and the year of his birth is uncertain in that source, so this entry stays brief and carries only what it states: his full name, his residence in Ellwood, Pennsylvania, and his standing as world champion in pocket billiards and continuous pool, both early forms of pool played for the world title.
